This attractive Athena P.5 subwoofer is also a compact unit, measuring only 13.25"H x 10"W x 13.5"D.

Its sides are covered with stretched fabric and its top and rear panel sport a heavy-duty vinyl veneer. It employs a single 8" down-firing woofer. The back panel features a power switch, left and right high-level speaker inputs on spring clips, and a single line-level RCA input. A large flared port is located just below the front control panel, and large rubber feet are provided to raise the unit off of the floor to provide adequate clearance for the woofer. There is a 75W internal amplifier.

The P.5's front panel has controls for output level and "Bass Range" (high-frequency cut off), as well as switches for "Mode" and "A/V." The A/V switch can be set for Audio (flat frequency response) or to Video, which "enhances the bass frequencies' response for the thump and excitement of home-theater soundtracks." The P.5's Mode switch can be set to provide the optimum crossover characteristics for an appropriate Athena Technologies satellite speaker, which in this case is the S.5. When the switch is set to this position, it overrides the Bass Range control and the user need only adjust the output level of the sub to match the volume of the S.5 satellites. Blending satellite speakers with a subwoofer can sometimes be a frustrating process of finding just the right balance of the crossover frequency, output level, and perhaps even placement of the sub. I appreciated having the "S.5" setting for the Mode switch, which greatly simplified this process.

This is one of those tight, musical subs that is ideal for a small or mid-sized listening environment, but not ideal for use in a large room or for music listeners looking for thundering bass. If you'd like to supplement your bookshelf or satellite speakers in a small or medium size room, with tight accurate bass that is present but not overpowering, then this could be the sub for you!

Original MSRP of $375 Canadian. Fantastic Deal for this thoughtfully designed Athena boomer at just $125.
